This is the songsmith's sixth studio album and is his most personal to date. The title track is an infectious up tempo number but, perversely, is about a difficult time in his life when Josh thought he was going to die. "Pushing Back The Dark" continues the theme of personal battle and is a spiritual warfare anthem calling us to take ground for the Gospel as does the Maroon 5-esq "Faith Is Not A Feeling" and pulsating "Wake Me Up". Although the majority of songs are breezy guitar-based melodies there is one standout story-ballad "I See God In You" about Wilson's 94 year old neighbour and a disabled child he knew. Josh Wilson does not mind straying from God-centred topics to a human relationship focus as on the finger-snapping "What A Mystery" and ukulele underpinned love song "One Safe Soul". A finely crafted set of songs.
